Default Unable to change document

I had created a one page poster and saved it.
I was able to reload and edit.
Then I used curved text tool and saved document as a separate file.
Now, when I load any of the versions of that file (all with different names) I cannot access/edit any of the frames (text or picture).
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Studio > Layers - Is the layer locked
Are you on the right layer?
Are they on a Master page and you're trying to edit on an ordinary page?
Is there something on top of the objects?
Or are the objects locked? - Right Click > Arrange >
Lock Objects

Or... have you grouped the items together?

Failing that lot either attach a copy here (use the paper clip icon) if it is small enough, if too big then either use a drop box or you are welcome to send it to me at: art at artbrough dot co dot uk

Thanks Art
It seems that I had done the work as a Master Page and when I reloaded the document PP tried to edit as a page. If I double click on master page I'm able to edit.
I'll live with it for this publication but I will not make the same mistake again.
Thanks for your advice.

You're welcome. The next time you go into the document just go to the Master page:

Ctrl + A > Ctrl + C > Switch to Publication Page then Ctrl + Alt + V - Back to the Master page Ctrl + A > Delete.

Probably worth doing a Save As with a different file name first just in case you get your fingers in a knot.
